Oil Level Check

Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
1. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck as shown, but do
not screw it in, then remove it to check the oil level.
3. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the dipstick, fill
with the recommended oil (see page 8) to the upper limit mark
(bottom edge of the oil fill hole). Do not overfill.

Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited Warranty.
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will automatically stop the engine
before the oil level falls below the safe limit. However, to avoid the
inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always check the engine oil
level before startup.

Oil Change

Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, oil drain plug and sealing
washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil drain
plug and a new sealing washer, and tighten the oil drain plug
securely.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the
environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed container to your
local recycling center or service station for reclamation. Do not throw it
in the trash, pour it on the ground, or pour it down a drain.

the dipstick.
